Guess there are no rules or guidel...Dearest Victor,<br />Guess there are no rules or guidelines for a first date or any date.<br />My late first husband I met while being transported in a truck for a 'dropping'... We were all girls from the Catholic group of young girls. They organized this drop off to an unknown place, in the dark and we had flashlights and a list with tasks we had to find answers for. Soon two teenagers on a moped stopped and they let us ride with them to the next house for fulfilling another task. They also knew where the event would end up, as they knew the big café restaurants where cooking of pea soup with pork was going on. So we entered with them, through the back, walking past those huge pots where entire pig heads were bobbing into the green pea soup. Yuk, what a sight. When we ate the soup later, I managed to put my brain on zero but got up like lightning when the came by, for seconds. Oh no!<br />That's how I met my late first husband and his older brother and friend. His brother got killed by a postal vehicle that gave no yield to him. <br />My friend Ellie who was with me, is still a very dear friend, regardless the distance in-between through the Ocean. <br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-48226452272857346272020-09-03T02:57:11.316-07:002020-09-03T02:57:11.316-07:00Congratulations to you too, Wanda, and to all our ...Congratulations to you too, Wanda, and to all our readers for their many years of marriage.

Nice to know you do have many couples that have been married for a number of years. I'll add mine and Don's to that list. 59 and hoping my dearest health holds so we can celebrate 60.

If you have one as a pet it would hang upside down from the lamp or chandelier watching TV all day. You would have to turn the TV upside down so the sloth can see the picture properly. Be cause if you don't do so, and the TV is the right way up, and the sloth sees another sloth on TV hanging upside down off a tree, he, (the one who is your pet), would get confused and let go the lamp and fall on the ground with a bump and crash.<br /><br />I learnt all this the hard way whilst hanging upside down from a hammock.<br /><br />God bless, Mevely.

It's the same in job interviews. Questions like, "what are your weaknesses"? As if anyone would answer this honestly.<br /><br />At the end of a job interview I was given the opportunity to ask questions. I asked, "Are you serious in recruiting someone for this position or have you got someone already in mind for the job?"<br /><br />I got the job. I guess I was big-headed then!<br /><br />God bless, Bill.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-36218686373686149142020-09-02T09:34:08.929-07:002020-09-02T09:34:08.929-07:00What a lovely story, Martha.

I'm so glad it all worked out and I wish you many happy years together filled with joy, good health and plenty of good things.<br /><br />I'm guessing that Danny did not ask you if you liked wasps! I would not recommend it. It did not work for me as a good question to ask. <br /><br />God bless you both, always.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-91437336981887476832020-09-02T09:11:40.429-07:002020-09-02T09:11:40.429-07:00Like Martha, I can't recall any early Q-and-A&...Like Martha, I can't recall any early Q-and-A's.

The question was supposed to be a creative question, that's what I was told. I couldn't answer it, I thought it was a trick question. :) I'm glad the dating days are over, I can't imagine how people even communicate, maybe text each other.<br />Every week in the Guardian, they interview people that went on a blind date. It's funny sometimes the answers they give when asked a question.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250609752743750337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-66185077239756221952020-09-02T07:57:00.464-07:002020-09-02T07:57:00.464-07:00Oh, Lord, Victor, it's been so long since I wa...Oh, Lord, Victor, it's been so long since I was on a date, I don't know if I could remember any of them! Did you know that Danny and I met on E-Harmony? There, you have to ask each other a myriad of questions before you can move forward in your virtual relationship. If you successfully navigate these steps to the satisfaction of the both of you, then you can actually email each other privately. By the time we had our first "date," we already knew so many important things about one another, so it was an easy, comfortable experience. By our second date, I knew I was supposed to marry this guy. Lol! And see, it worked out!<br />Blessings, and thanks for listening to my story!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.com
